That seems to me quite confusing. I wasn't able to find answers on IB page, as well on forum to this questions:

- What differences between this two packages? My account goes under professional definition, dose it mean I can't subscribe non-professional data at all?
- Phrase "Waived if monthly commissions > USD 30.00" seems to me saying quite opposit to what I have read on the forum. I understand it so, that if my trades generate more then 10$ then I get a bill form IB.

professional means you are nasd liscenced. Either way, you don't need anything but the cme globex subscription for e mini. Neither option 1 or 2 will get you e mini. You don't need them if you don't want them.

The professional fees are charged to professionals who supposedly dispense the quote information to their clients. It is an outdated fee. I wouldn't subscribe as a professional.

Tnx for reply first of all.
Well, opening a corporate account makes you automatically professional subscriber. Company can't be non-professional subscriber.

IB dosn't have globex subscription amongst list of services. And if e-minis are not included into any of two above mentioned services (what I assumed) what name of the service includes them?

A private investement corporation seem to be not automaticaly assigned as a PRO if the trader is not a PRO (i.e. with his License from the SEC/Series 7).

For IB this seem systematic a Corporation will bea ssigned as PRO fee, but for CyberTrader this will depend the status of the corporation, what is the rules in this area?

IB follows this definition, I don't know why other firms can get away with a different interpretation: "The U.S. exchanges define any organization as a "Professional" as these entities are not considered natural persons."
